The software change returned error code 0x87D00324 (-2016410844)

And the application will be marked as failed in software center.

You may get this error msg for various reasons. Basically the error msg is indicating that the installation is not successful.

Surprisingly if we check AppEnforce.log, it shows looking for exit code:0 which means the installation is successful.

So the application is installed successfully, however the software center showing the deployment as Failed with error code 0x87D00324 (-2016410844).

Now it is time to look at the specified detection rule. If we are using MSI GUID as a product detection rule, make sure that we have correct GUID in the detection clause.

Unfortunately the detection GUID clause is different than the actual installed product GUID. Hence the evaluation of product is failing so the configuration manager flagging the install as failed.

Once I corrected the GUID in detection rule updated the content. Run the machine Policy and Evaluation cycle. As soon as the machine received the new policy, the software center msg changed from Failed to Installed.
